under this kind of residence i hold residential detention and caper for up to 6 months and interrogate her do whatever they want without charging her but today we learned that if you can't reside there if you can't visit obviously you can't do any reporting at all so this is really a new low ever frankly ever since china began to open up in 1980 previous to that that's when the u.s. began to be able to send correspondents previous to that you know australian continent other countries had journalists there but this is really a new low. that we haven't seen you know for for 4050 years stephen butler from the committee to protect journalists joining us from washington thank you thank you my pleasure. now in california fireworks at a gender reveal party are being blamed for igniting the latest blaze sweeping the u.s. state fire crews are struggling to contain the flames amid scorching temperatures

and high winds at the way they say a record amount of land has burned this year and they warned that the fire season is far from over. once again california is burning wildfires have plagued the state all summer and there's no sign of a lot of up with almost 15000 firefighters have been dispatched to tackle some 2 dozen large fires. shifting winds forced the exhausted firefighters to constantly adjust their efforts started it was pushing to the east and then to the north and then big westerly wind shifts and then today was moved to the south over north winds the winds been pretty dramatically inconsistent. temperatures in california are at an all time high and the parched countryside is highly flammable. the fire crews know that the battle is far from won. our number one priority for this fire

is the protection of property situation that we have right now a. new life threatening situation with the weather forecast that we have for the next 3 days and you have a red flag warning today and we have santa ana winds predicted for the next 2 days . as the flames spread more and more residents are being forced from their homes some have to be evacuated by helicopter. to leave behind a smoldering landscape with a record 2000000 acres scorched by wildfires in california this year this has become an increasingly common sight. around the world many people are coming down with a case of coronavirus fatigue some who reject government regulations or even making their outrage public for example in germany mass protests have erupted the skeptics now find themselves marching alongside right wing agitators and conspiracy

theorists have you met a man who took part in the recent for lynn demonstration he says he's an ordinary citizen who just questions the science not a political extremist. for up about dunno was at that big demonstration against the coronavirus measures here at the ins brandenburg gate he's 50 years old lives with his family in berlin and does freelance work in advertising. frank does not believe that the corona virus is especially dangerous he says the infection numbers are low and that coronavirus mortality rates are similar to those of influence he feels the restrictions are excessive. if i go somewhere to eat i have to leave my address behind and it makes no sense if i get up to use the toilet i have to wear a mask as everybody knows these totally absurd regulations that i think are in themselves pointless are based on a theory that actually doesn't justify this. thousands of

people demonstrated in central berlin against the policies to tackle coronavirus such as social distancing in mosques like for protestors question the science behind them. were all alive because we've worn mosques is simplistic thinking. think that's something we should have left behind after the age of 5 or 6 it's as if we were to say someone's wearing red jim serious and has a headache and then i stand there and say oh man i'll go read gym shoes calls headaches. frank describes himself as a democratic citizen for him the people protesting the coronavirus measures come from all walks of life. doesn't even mention. these people stand for democracy for freedom and so on i found it all very peaceful

it was a very peaceful demonstration it was a huge gigantic and it showed me that there were many many people who think this way seeking similarly to me. we need stream is groups among the demonstrators hold for the german parliament building to be stormed. a few 100 radicals breached the barriers and got to the steps of the bundestag symbolic. images that made the news around the world the entire coronavirus demonstration was tainted by this action frank says that he had nothing to do with it. this business decide to distance myself from any kind of violence i distance myself from any kind of right wing extremist ideology he doesn't appeal to me. but does it not bother him the far right radicals also took part in the demonstration as one flew it if it was a handful of people what else can i say to these fools imagine that you're riding a train and a right wing radical who gets on to you get off the train. i mean this. frank

but now says he accepts that his protests will be joined by right wing extremists he says that won't stop him from attending the next demonstration in berlin. let's get some more perspective on the story now we can speak to gus farm cause he's a policy analyst at the open society european policy institute here in germany that's thank you for joining us we just heard from them there who says he's not an extremist but he simply questions the science and the politics behind the government's coronavirus regulations can you understand that perspective. first of all i can understand that people would like to protest at the open society foundations be very much support the person the right the fundamental right to go on the streets and let your voices hurt so that's one issue and this person has

his right to go out there and make his concerns known this is what we do in a democracy and that's totally fine what i do not understand is the blindness to the right wing extremists who just said oh if you get on and. on and you are there are right wing extremists on the train as well you don't need to train show you don't have to do that but you don't have to sit right next to those in the or not and this is what these people are doing on these protests they're not distancing themselves physically they're not making the neo nazis to know that they are not wanted there and that's the fundamental issue and that has a lot to do with people who are very skeptical about the science behind covert the science behind vaccines this is a whole bunch of people who do not trust anymore in our scientific foundation of this democracy and that's an issue because why do you think that is do you think that politicians in tight scientists haven't been able to affectively communicate

what they're doing and why. i believe in germany it went comparative police quite well if you take a look at the confidence of the people in the in those policies recent data shows that 88 percent of the people living in this country do agree with the pandemic. policies the dragon government imposed so there is white support and this is a very loud very diverse minority that's raising its voice it's not representative for the people in this country just quickly you know you're right there them a large majority of people in germany do approve of the measures taken by the government these were 40000 people who demonstrated in berlin so this is just a fraction of the population so why do people get so worked up about it they're coming from different backgrounds they're like i said there's there are people with or who have been is a terrible lifestyle there are religious people fundamentalists actually and they

are a lot of people who are just not satisfied with politics any more some people just don't like i get america some people who disagree with policy in general and that's totally fine that's a democracy but the issue we have here is that those demonstrations are being hijacked by right wing extremists and that's an issue we'll have to leave it there guys from highest from the open society european policy institute thank you so much sure thank you for. just one more item for you a tour de france organizers have announced that no riders have tested positive for the koren a virus but the race director has christian that pulled all my is the architect of the horse strict hiking protocols which of kept riders in a bio secure bubble but he has failed to avoid catching the virus and self as cases rise in france generally has to go into corn cino the 3 week race is approaching the halfway mark. coming up next on give you news asia china and

assured playing with them would sound like the biggest composer of all time i can't even begin to imagine a world class one player sara willis on a musical journey of discovery. a world without a child star september 16th i want to tell you. this is the wus a show coming up today to regional powers also. well rule 2 major confrontation. china and india are accusing each other of fighting shots on a dispute just border as a tense months long standoff threatens to snowball is that a way out of this crisis we are experts in india and china.

i'm british military welcome to news asia glad you could join us now this blue lake that you will see behind me high in the him is the scene of an unfolding military standoff between india and china troops from both countries stationed along the banks of the penguin make have now accused each other of fighting shots if true it would be the 1st time in more than 4 decades that shots have been fired on the disputed border it's a border that stretches for some 3500 kilometers and is under marketed since many troops from both countries have been amassing at various points after both sides accuse the other of violating each other's claimed head of tree i'll be getting the view from india and china in a bit but 1st a quick primer on what's been happening since me. a remote mountain region for which soldiers have died and superpowers faced off. tuesday's incident

along india's led dark border with china risks a fresh standoff in one of the world's most explosive border conflicts the red line marks the boundary around 3500 kilometers long between these nuclear armed rivals known as the line of actual control or l.a. see it is not a hard border china and india have never agreed on where it should lie tensions began soaring in may both sides assembled troops in the area amid reports that chinese soldiers had crossed the borders at various points and set up camps on territory claimed by india china ordered its military to prepare for quote worst case scenarios in the area on june 15th the 2 sides clashed on a steep mountainside 20 indian soldiers were killed with chinese casualties unknown firearms had been banned to prevent escalation but chinese troops allegedly used

weapons like iron spiked rods in hand to hand combat an indian source passed this image to the b.b.c. . the deadly clashes sparked protests across india demonstrators burned effigies of chinese leader xi jinping and demanded boycotts of chinese goods beijing said it was defending its territorial integrity accusing indian troops of crossing the border twice and provoking chinese soldiers. and tensions have not subsided since as india's army chief confirmed just a few days ago. this situation along the sea is likely dense. keeping in view of the situation undertaken some cautionary deployment on safety and security and the deployment to be under along the elysee.

both sides traded blame for tuesday's incident each saying the other had fired the shots so what happens next a month krishnan is china correspondent for the hindu newspaper and author of the book india china talents and victor hugo is vice president of the center for china and mobilization and a man who knows the pinking in china's communist party welcome to your both gentlemen mr goh i'd like to begin with you 1st china has called india's image moves in the bang gong make area a grave military provocation what does china expect to see happen next to ease tensions well we understand tensions are rising along the dispute is the line of actual control be jane china india in the western part of the border and this does not bode well from the chinese perspective china does not want to

have a war with india and china wants to do whatever it can to calm down the situation to the o'shea's all. talk about a solution all coming down of the tasters but it doesn't seem that the situation is going that way and it is learned that firing happened on the indian side which actually broke a record of almost 40 years this is very alarming i personally do not want to see any of flaring up of tension all military conflicts between china and india which i've called 2 super populations in the world they need to have peace and stability rather than war and conflicts where you can have peace and stability on one prefer an inch and i how can piece instability be achieved. i think that's the question and i think the latest events being seen in the last few days our aim for 2 reasons the 1st is it's

a new front and we've already had 4 or 5 different spots along the n.a.c. where there's been heightened tension or since me and of course we had a terrible loss of life on june 16th in the one valley and i think this new sector insulted by only shows that all the talks about science has been happening haven't really achieved much headway dobbin then diffuse the situation you know having immune from demanding this extremely worrying and as santa i think the fact that he's firing for the 1st sciences 975 if you can son i mean you know he said that the chinese side had fired 1st in trying to dislodge forward positions at the chinese a city of fireflies was a classic case of said she said but are they looking for one can only hope that the talks that there's external affairs minister her and his counterpart. to morrow in moscow hopefully can be in the way for some kind of understanding to the 2 sides

but i have little concern really because the guy talks at these levels of the embassy former minister of defense ministers since may so what is maybe the reason for optimism and. let's see what victor gao has to say on the other to go as an on for mentioned lots of rounds of talks that have been something like 5 rounds of talks as far as ground commanders are concerned and he said i would talk some up and as a month mentioned what exactly is china expecting from these foreign minister level talks that are due to be hemmed in moscow. well i think china wants to have as many talks as needed to avoid a war military conflict between china and india because china does not want to have a war by doesn't mean that china is afraid of a war against for example we truly believe that neither india nor china should be

involved in a war against each other the 2 largest populations in the world so i think china will be very very patient in talking to the media site to rationalize everything and to give out the pros and cons of peace versus wall for example and i hope india we also be rational and will be reasonable and we will not be pushed forward by another big power which may actually have its own geopolitical schemes try to run hold a war pretty india recall you almost make it sound like the solutions are entirely with india what would you have india do. no i think both china and india need to con dom and withdrawal from the line of actual control which may actually cause more cases to rise and both sides need to have cool head rather then rid next as we sometimes call to agitate the situation and to promote

the getting out of the control get it out of our portion of the friction points only ground which is very very dangerous if control of the situation is lost in the western section of china indian border i assume also be lost in the east a section more than 2000 kilometers long of balder between china and india maybe up in great conflict and this would crack down both yen china for many yes right on most of the border in appears to be under market and under is all been heard about it come to you on and you've been a foreign correspondent in china for a number of heroes what according to you is the reason this border demeans underscore for so many decades. like to say it's left through or from history but i think the biggest problem has been that china has for many

reasons a stall on the marketing land actually control so this is a different from settling the dispute which of course is going to be very complicated given that territories something that also 'd most as well countries but i think the most rational beings aboard safe to do is to sit in plough desirea n.a.c. and the different perceptions of the embassy now didn't settle the boundary and right doing that they can avoid the kind of incidents we've seen since may and frankly speaking for many years that type of figure are quite china doesn't want to terrify the n.a.c. they seem to prefer i be witty and i think that that really hasn't helped the situation and the one point that having me since may i think the biggest problem has been a mismatch between what we've been hearing from chinese officials about wanting peace and the actions of the young on the ground this seems to be. the biggest i think evidence that this is media is lost access to about 1000 meters used the

faulty disk writing that really shows where the changes have been made on the ground who will actually do the bait the tense situation that we had previously and i think going back to what it was before me it's something that india would demand in the talks it would be had in the next few days rick to go last question to you is china playing a double game. no i don't think so i think as to what happened in the deep night of june the 15th even prime minister modi of india said that the chinese military was not on the indian side of the line of actual control and if you're really lucky just to break so you will know it was the india soldiers penetrating into the chinese side of the l. a c. and. resulting in a brawl resulting in about 20 soldiers lost losing their life not we need to be

very specific we need to be very pragmatic in terms of dealing with these very inflammatory situation along with china d n a c but that mega-trend is that both china india need to embrace peace and stability rather than being agitated one way or another are 3 of very very destructive power of war and conflict were different even there for the timing but thank you so much for joining us to everyone on a christian internet and victor gao thank you so much for your time. that's a fanaa be sure to check out the other stories on did up a dot com phone slash shot on facebook and twitter today india and from the dog will be open in 2 weeks time the country's top tourist attraction was shot in mid march as part of india's coronavirus looked on we leave you with that today join us again tomorrow in need of
